What is difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
Ferrous is from the Latin term which means iron (hence the elemental symbol "Fe") . A non-ferrous metal is any metal which is not iron or any alloy of metals which does not contain iron as a component. Most (but not all) ferrous alloys are magnetic and even those which are vary in magnetic attraction due to the amount of iron in the alloy. Stainless steel is not always magneticly attracted because the process of making it "stainless" removes a great deal of the iron (it is put in nitric acid to remove the iron leaving only a small amount of iron and mostly nickel). All ferrous alloys will exhibit some degree of oxidation (called rust only in the case of iron and iron alloys) which has a distinct reddish colour. If this isn't enough, please be more specific in your question as to what kind of difference (electro shell, valence, atomic weight, atomic number, Etc.). Ferrous is magnetic due to its iron content, non ferrous doesn't contain iron, and therefore isn't magnetic.
What would happen on a humid day if you took an empty metal cup out of a freezer and put it on a napkin?
The napkin will get wet and will form water vapor.
What will happen if solid is mixed in liquid?
It depends entirely upon the solid and the liquid.If you put a group 1 metal such as potassium into water you get a purple fireball, an explosion, hydrogen gas and potassium hydroxide.If you put potassium in oil nothing happens.If you put talc into water you get a suspension.If you put a salt into water you get an aqueous solution.Some things will react, others will not.
What would happen if you put Windex in ear?
Rinse it out with water
How do you destroy sodium metal?
by putting it in water it which creates a chemical reaction. If you put a lot of sodium metal in water, it will blow up so when experimenting with this, be extra careful.
What would happen if someone put metal in a microwave oven?

i am tired all the time and i am getting a scan for a swoolen tummy,my doc put me on 210mg ferrous fumarete why ?
This metal explodes with cold water?
Potassium metal is a metal that explodes when put in cold water. It causes a chemical reaction which results in a large explosion.
What will happen if you put sugar in water?
You get Gatorade
What will happen if i put a egg in water?
it will get wet
Why metal turns cold when put in cold water?
cause you put it in cold water... so it makes it cold.
